I just received my copy of the newly revised Saturday Evening Post. A few months ago I mentioned that I was looking forward to finding out how the publisher would handle bringing back some old traditions while keeping up with the times.
When my July/August 2009 issue arrived in the mail, I was surprised and delighted when I glanced at the cover. The cover, a California coastline scene, reflects this issue’s theme “America the Beautiful”. The cover illustration was done by Eric Bowman, Oregon artist. Bowman admits that he was influenced by the artists who produced covers in the first half of the 20th century. This cover reminds me of the old magazines.
You might want to take a look at this magazine if you are not already a devoted fan. I believe the Post is on the right track with the new look and content. I think I will enjoy my subscription.

You will find a great selection of magazine back issues, art books and art catalogs at Nella’s Books and Collectibles.
